Texas regulators have approved a new 2,500-acre reservoir to support petrochemical expansion on the Texas Coast. The reservoir aims to meet the water needs of chemical plants, refineries, and other industries. The reservoir is intended to fuel growth in the region, following a notorious polluter's move to Texas from Louisiana. Additionally, experts at Texas A&M at Galveston warn of toxic algae, known as sea sparkle, blooming in Texas waters, posing a threat to animals.
